Every music video has a director. You just never saw their name. shotby is the credits database for music videos. Who directed it, who shot it, who cut it — and everything else they have made. FOLLOW THE PEOPLE, NOT THE ALGORITHM A director's work hides across a hundred artist channels. Follow them here and everything new lands in one feed, under their name instead of somebody else's. YOUR TV Build channels out of the directors and artists you follow. Shuffle them, sort by newest or best rated, and play the whole run end to end. THE PEOPLE'S RATING Score anything you watch, or put two videos side by side and throw the one you like. Your taste comes from what you actually watch, not from what an algorithm decided to push. COLLABORATION GRAPHS & 6 DEGREES OF ASSOCIATION See who works with who. Every director joined to every artist they have shot, drawn as a map you pull apart with your fingers. Run six degrees between any two names. CREDITS, PROPERLY The full crew on every video — director of photography, editor, colorist, production designer, producer. Tap any name to open their filmography. GET INDEXED Shot something that is not in here? Send a channel or a single video and the team indexes it, credits and all. shotby is free.
